Don’t forget, a 24V input will not compensate for battery imbalance caused be a 12V vampire load...

I find it is also good to charge them then give them a good heavy load test(1000A) for a few seconds or so, then recharge them. the two hawkers that came with my truck were in bad shape. After doing this a few times I actually got them to hold a decent charge. The only good thing about the...

I did a few years ago on a charger I had, it did improve some marginal batteries, but they were not horrible... Thats funny I just bought one of those last night, as I needed another automatic charger:)

you can buy inline velocity valves(hydraulic fuses, velocity fuses, velocity checks) that would perform the same function as the safety checks in the OEM cylinders, but they are not particularly common and not particularly inexpensive... An even simpler workaround is to put the same sized...

Mmmm rigging mmmm

Correct, except the 2x as long to charge part. That would only be true if you are charging at the same wattage input for both voltages. IE: A 12V@100Amp alt is 1200W. A 24V@ 100A alt is 2400W. Now if your 24V alt is only 50A/1200W, then yes, the 24V will take twice as long to charge the...

No, Amp hours is the wrong term to express the amount of energy storage gained in series... IE: A 12V 100AH battery would support a 12V@10A load for 10 hours. Two 12V 100AH batteries in series to make a 24V battery, would support a 24V@10A load for the SAME 10 HOURS... It is twice the amount...

The 6TL’s I have are 120AH(says it right on the lable).. AH capacity is only additive in parallel, just like voltage is only additive in series, so the 4 battery bank on the LMTV is 240AH... a pair in series would be 120AH... The limiting factor for charging a battery, is the same as for...

On my A0 all the cables come in from the upper left. On mine the 4 connector 12v cable was made up of bolt together 2 terminal units. I reused one of these for my 12-24 jumper between the 2 batts...

The 12V cable is the one that has 4 battery terminal connectors on it:) the others y0u can kind of determine by their length. The ground linees need to be long enough to reach the front of the tray, while the 24V lines are fairly short as the 24V terminals are all the way in by the frame...

A batteries current output capacity is determined by it’s ability to convert chemical to electrical energy. More plate surface area = more current capacity/CCA Absorbed Glass Mat batteries accomplish the chemical to electrical transfer more efficiently than plain plates so for a given size...

It wasn’t engineered, it was built to a milspec... IE: what is the cheapest way we can build this thing and still get uncle sugar to sign off on it... By any common automotive standard, the 4EA 6TL battery bank is more than twice as large as it should be for the alternator, or the 100A...

Interesting... The small valve with the 1/4” lines(all the way to the right?) is for the fan clutch control. It should energize with the main switch turned on and de-energize(and vent air) when y0u turn the main switch off...

Thats basically how they did the 1079 with a bolt down thru the top and bottom brackets, thru the spring to a washer and nut. When the main frame twists down and away from the upper subframe, the subframe pulls up on the bolt and compresses the spring. on this one they put a guide plate outside...

Or the box flexes/twists:)

In the cannon plug that connects to the CTIS controller, Lower case a and capital N are the pins used by the J1587 buss. Capital G and X are used by the j1939 buss.

I don’t think the ground wire makes any difference in operation, I believe it was done to meet some EMI/shielding specification, since they didn’t tie the CTIS case to ground in the cannon plug. Just like they put EMI filters on the wiper, washer and heater blower motor circuits... In the A1...

Wow, my memory must be getting bad... the FSCM takes you to century spring co(in Ca) and the part number 4115 gets you to the below listed part. 1003 LB/IN but only about 1.3” of travel(free length to solid length)... musta mixed this up with something else, or what some other method was...

I would not be the one to be able to tell you that...

It could be that it is doing something to the J1587 data buss. I am assuming that your truck uses the integrated gauge controller, because that is about the only way I could see your CTIS effecting oil pressure, who's information is also passed on the J1587 buss in vehicles using the integrated...
